    E.g:

    Subject: Swine flu.

    American A: "Fuck man, they are going to have us all vaccinated against our will, herded up into trucks probably...get your guns ready dudes...martial law is comin'."

    American B: "I don't give a shit, man."

    (I'm presuming most Americans use the term "man" when they speak.")

    (This IS a serious question by the way.)

    if no one pointed it out yet.

    and, you're just seeing a false dichotomy presented by media.

    I knew that. :rolleyes:

    Is the HipForums "The Media"?
    I'm looking at this forum and I only generally see two positions.

    The e.g I gave: I don't see many, if any, Americans saying: I do give a shit, but I'm calm with it all...I'll read all the evidence out there and come to some reasonable conlusions...with a hint of caution for good measure.

    There are two kinds of Americans - those that see everything in black and white, and those that don't.

    Well perhaps you should.
    The e.g I gave was just an e.g.
    There are lots of e.gs I could have given...that was just the easier one to give.


    I think that is probably a more fair comment.

    There are 3 places called America

    * América, Buenos Aires Province, a city in Argentina
    * America, Netherlands, a village in the Netherlands
    * América, Tamaulipas, Mexico

    If you dont come from one of them, you are not american.

    Why does the black stand for wrong and the white for right?
    That is very black and white of you.
